What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Culminate

Synonyms: come to a climax, come to a crescendo, peak, climax, come to the end with, etc.

.-.-.-.-.

Why are you rushing,

Constantly brushing,

Important people off.

Slow down!

Life won’t pass you by,

It’s not just about finding a guy.

Enjoy the sights,

Enjoy the heights!

Growing up will come real quick.

Should have been patient.

Those guys were just a few some,

If you waited he could have come.

Now at thirty-two,

Your dreams have come true!

He is perfect.

At twenty-two,

You found your crescendo,

Finally taking life slow.

My advice to my teenage self would have been to slow down. Unless you are one of the few lucky ones, most people don’t find love at fifteen.

And if I had been patient, I might have met him at fifteen. We were in the same sport and at same sporting events. We lived close enough. I would drop my brother off at our cousin’s house, and it was just down the block from him. He worked right around the corner from where I grew up.

But by the grace of God I didn’t miss him, by being impatient. I just met him later in life. Meeting him was at the peak of life. Now I’m enjoying the lowering decent into my adult life. Of kids and adventures.

Life is good. 😊
